This TQUK Distance Learning course is an online short course that will enable learners to gain a general awareness of the causes of distressed behaviour, along with an understanding of an appropriate way to support a child displaying distressed behaviour. Learners will consider how other characteristics such as mental health, learning disabilities and sensory processing or autism conditions can play a role in distressed behaviour being displayed by a child. Finally, learners will gain an understanding of how current UK Legislation underpins approaches to providing support for a child who displays distressed behaviour.
